There is no other way to put these socks on without discomfort, the loops weren't sewn on properly, my daughter already has a major sensory issue and the socks only make things worse because of the line in the sock that goes over the toes be on top and honestly I think most people would be uncomfortable moving the stitching under their feet to accommodate the bow, it looks downright ridiculous anyway if it's a mess and the entire packaging is sewn the wrong way.
